Company information & important conditions

Summarized from official documentation. These facts are separate from our editorial assessment.

Company and trading environment

FundedNext lists its headquarters in Ajman, UAE, with operations in the UAE and Bangladesh. CFD challenges and subsequent FundedNext accounts are simulated. Its own documentation says it is not a retail broker; this is not a claim of broker licensing or deposit protection.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

US pricing and platform access

US customers use Match-Trader for new CFD purchases; MT4/MT5 are unavailable and new US cTrader purchases ended March 31, 2026. The US guide publishes a separate price schedule, which is not the default comparison shown here. US traders do not receive the separate 15% challenge reward.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Platform limitations

Non-US clients can use MT4, MT5, cTrader or Match-Trader where offered. Non-US $100K/$200K accounts are unavailable on cTrader and Match-Trader; the US Match-Trader exception applies. TradingView is currently for CFD analysis, not trade execution.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Simulated accounts

FundedNext says CFD trades run through its own licensed platforms and infrastructure using simulated market conditions. The challenge fee purchases program access, not a deposit of the advertised account balance.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Eligibility and identity checks

Traders must be at least 18. Identity verification and country eligibility apply before accessing all account and reward features; residency and nationality restrictions should be checked before purchase.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Payments and additional charges

Available methods depend on region. The payment guide lists 1% processing fees for crypto and PayPal and 3% for Skrill. Optional platform/account add-ons and payment charges are not included in our base program fees.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

CFD fee refunds

A cancellation refund is conditional on requesting it within seven days and not having started trading. Separately, successful Stellar 2-Step traders can receive the refundable fee with their first reward; current 1-Step and Lite accounts use the third reward. Reset and add-on rules differ.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

CFD withdrawals

FundedNext lists crypto, Confirmo, RiseWorks and bank options, subject to availability and gateway charges. Its stated 24-hour processing target is a provider claim, not an independently tested payout guarantee.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Automation and copying

US Match-Trader and cTrader accounts require manual trading. MT4/MT5 automation is restricted to accounts below $50K, requires the applicable add-on and must meet strategy rules. Accounts of $50K and above must be traded manually, including tools that only modify trade parameters.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Funded CFD risk restrictions

A separate 3% simultaneous risk limit applies to funded CFD accounts and related trade ideas. Repeated violations can reduce the allowance to 1% and lead to deductions. Passing daily and maximum drawdown checks alone does not satisfy every risk rule.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

CFD inactivity

Thirty consecutive calendar days without a trade can deactivate an account. Evaluation deadlines are otherwise open-ended; verification after passing also has a deadline.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Futures trading hours

Close positions before 3:10 PM Central Time each trading day. Remaining positions are automatically closed. Trading resumes at 5 PM CT, including Sunday reopening after the weekend.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Futures fees and refunds

Futures purchases and resets are non-refundable under the official policy. Standard challenge fees are one-time; commission and exchange charges are separate trading costs.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Futures inactivity

Thirty consecutive calendar days without trading causes deactivation. Trading resets the inactivity counter. A funded account cannot be reset after an inactivity breach.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Current program coverage

This comparison includes the standard Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite and Instant CFD programs and the Flex, Legacy, Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily futures paths. Retired Rapid/Bolt accounts and limited experimental Labs products are not standard account variants in this comparison.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Launch and founders

FundedNext’s company history dates its launch to March 18, 2022. It identifies Abdullah Jayed and Abdullah Galib as the founders of the NEXT Ventures group.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Contracting and operational entities

The Terms of Service identify GrowthNext – F.Z.E., UAE registration 28831, as the contracting provider. They distinguish FundedNext Ltd in Comoros for operational technology, FundedNext Limited in Hong Kong for website operations, and affiliated payment processors. The terms take precedence over conflicting FAQ or website copy.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Current CFD scale-up program

For purchases or resets from January 12, 2026, the FundedNext Pro criteria include four qualifying rewards, at least 4% growth in each qualifying cycle and at least two months of activity. Qualifying growth is 25% per cycle, with a 90% reward share. US clients are excluded from the separate 15% challenge reward.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Stellar Instant scaling

Instant scaling requires 10% cumulative disbursed-withdrawal growth in the current tier and at least one withdrawal. Reward share is 70% in tiers 1–2 and 80% from tier 3. Preserve the trailing-loss buffer when withdrawing.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

CFD copy trading

Copying between a trader’s own evaluation accounts is allowed within the $300K combined allocation and master-account rules. Copying to or from funded CFD accounts or other people is prohibited. Cloud-based copying services are prohibited. Stellar Instant has a separate own-Instant-accounts exception.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

Futures country eligibility

Futures has a separate restricted-country list. Permission to purchase a simulated account does not guarantee admission to live trading; the risk team reviews live eligibility. Check the current residency restrictions before buying.

Official source · Checked 2026-09-28

How listed prices are verified

Base fees and coupon prices were checked against the main public product-page selectors on September 28, 2026. These are website prices for standard configurations, not a claim about a personalized checkout. Exact displayed discounted amounts take precedence over rounded promotional percentages. The US help guide is retained for regional conditions, not used as the default price source.
